Azden SGM-3500 Broadcast Spec 7 Inch Shotgun Microphone – Supercardioid Pickup – Ultra-Low Noise

Basically a shorter version of the 3500L, the Azden SGM-3500 measures 7″ long. The comparatively shorter interference tube generates a slightly less directional supercardioid polar pattern, that still provides excellent rejection of off-axis sound. While perfectly suitable as a boom microphone, the shorter length makes the 3500 a more practical choice for on-camera mounting.

Extremely Low Self-Noise
The 3500 series boasts an ultra-low noise floor at 13 dB (A weighted), for crystal clear audio.

Tuned for Speech Capture
Frequency response is boosted in the area of 5 kHz to 10 kHz where speech articulation is most present.

All Metal Brass Body
Provides optimal RF rejection and durability.

Gold-plated XLR Connector
To ensure a good connection and a high resistance to corrosion.

High Sensitivity Mic Element
Captures a level of detail and nuance beyond any other Azden microphone.

Wide Frequency Response
From 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz with roll off at the first octave to avoid low frequency noise.

10 Year Warranty
Backed by Azden’s longest warranty term, unmatched by other microphones in this class.

Focused Directionality
The SGM-3500 at 7″ long offers a supercardioid polar pattern, while the longer SGM-3500L offers a more focused hypercardioid polar pattern.
